Meet Hugo!

Meet Hugo, our new family member. Hugo is Eva's dog and he is just 2 months old.

We get to see him quite often, and must say that he has swept us off of our feet! He is a Red Toy Poodle and we first saw him, we taught he was a plushie! He is such a good boy, cuddly, very obedient, sociable, and quite a fast learner. 

Grandma (me!) made him a velvet carry-bag as a welcome gift, but I am still waiting for the photos :)

Crochet Workshop at The Nest

  

 

A week ago, I had a crochet workshop at The Nest in Kocani. Before I go further, let me explain about it. The Nest is a youth center in Kocani, a place for inspiration, socializing and mutual support. It is a place where young people can connect, learn, exchange ideas and create new opportunities. This center is the initiative of Support Kocani with the aim to revitalize the city, especially the young people, after the devastating tragedy that happened on March 16, by organizing free workshops/ classes.  

 

My workshop was actually for beginners, where we learnt about the basic stitches, learnt how to hold the hook, make a foundation chain, and with one of my drills for mastering the single crochet, we made  pumpkins and jellyfish. All the ladies showed an immense interest, and the class was filled with warm and sparkling energy. I loved getting their messages afterwards, that some of them continued crocheting home immediately after the class. Truly warmed my heart. 

 

I hope to get back there again, next time with a more advanced workshop.  

 

Back to Athens

  

Snippets from our family trip to Athens.  We went back for Eva's check-up, stayed a week, so that Eva can experience fully the city that saved her life. We had a busy schedule, but it was a wholesome and heartwarming experience.
